My surgeon said to get chewable. Centrum makes one and best choice too. I would worry the Gummy would get stuck. They are a little chalky much not that bad. He also had me get chewable Calcium. Your surgeon should have given you a list.

I have never tried gummies before. I just know my surgeon said chewable but I guess Gummy is chewable too? And they actually taste good?

They are delicious! And like highland said I take mine after my evening meal and it's like a treat! Yum. I have to take four gummies and there are four flavors so sometimes I eat one of each and feel like I'm eating a smidge of candy. Yes, I know it's silly. But whatever. It makes my mind happy!

Darn...i got a few liquids and 2 chewables. It looks like there is a good variety of gummys so Ill have to get them next time. I need a really good probiotic in a chewable, liquid, or Gummy but havent found one yet. Right now (not banded till Thursday) I have an 80 billion probiotic. I love my probiotic and need to do some research for a comparable one.

I also didnt find any liquid Tylenol or Ibuprofen...do you take childrens liquid but more of it or something? Or do they just not sell liquid Tylenol or Ibuprofen at Walmart (where I went). Thanks guys for your help.

I got liquid Tylenol at Wal-Mart. I also know that I've seen it at every grocery store around here. However, I bought a whole bottle and never used it. I either took my prescribed pain pills or just learned that the pain wasn't that bad and dealt with it. Also, I didn't get liquid pain medicine. They just gave me pills which would have been the same size as Tylenol pills.

I also NEVER used my liquid tylenol. You actually buy children's and take the adult dose if you decide you want it. I had very little, if any, pIn after my surgery. The right shoulder gas pain was the most bothersome and walking is the only answer for that! Best wishes on your surgery!

probiotic pearls are small enough to swallow. I have been taking those from the start.

I have found the adult liquid tylenol at Walmart, once. The other two times I've tried to find it, they've been sold out. I know Walgreens and probably Rite Aid also sell a generic acetaminophen.

I would say chewable or liquid is best. I've had issues with Gummy things!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
